Emily Cole Psychotherapy
Mindfulness-based Relational
Psychotherapy
A Transformative, Holistic Approach to Psychotherapy in London and online.
Are you searching for a sense of freedom and direction?
Do you want happier, more satisfying relationships?
Are you struggling with depression, anxiety or burnout?
In psychotherapy we turn towards what hurts to connect with a sense of safety, wellness and potential within. I offer a dynamic therapeutic relationship where we move through this process together.

Working Together
As a therapist I support you to meet life's challenges and appreciate its gifts.
I work with individuals from a wide variety of lived experiences and backgrounds. I have particular expertise working with those with ADHD and individuals from the LGBTQ+ community. I commonly work with people navigating:
Anxiety & Perfectionism
Perhaps you constantly feel under pressure, struggle to switch off or believe nothing you do is ever quite enough. Together we can understand the roots of these patterns and help you develop greater confidence, self-compassion and emotional freedom.
Relationships
Whether you're struggling with conflict, people-pleasing, attachment difficulties or repeating painful relationship patterns, therapy can help you understand yourself and develop healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
Trauma
Sometimes difficult experiences continue to affect us long after they've happened. Therapy can help you process these experiences safely so they no longer shape your present in the same way.
Depression & Feeling Stuck
If you've lost your sense of motivation, purpose or connection with yourself, therapy can help you understand what's beneath these feelings and begin moving towards a more meaningful life.
Neurodivergence
I work with many autistic and ADHD clients, providing a theraputic relationship that recognises neurodivergent ways of experiencing the world while supporting emotional wellbeing and self-understanding.
What you can expect
-
A calm, confidential and compassionate space where you can speak openly without judgement
-
A collaborative therapeutic relationship where we work together to understand what lies beneath your difficulties.
-
Support to explore emotions that may have previously felt overwhelming or out of reach.
-
Greater self-awareness, emotional resilience and confidence in yourself.
-
The opportunity to create lasting change rather than simply learning new coping strategies.
My Approach
We all arrive with our own unique history, strengths and our ways of making sense of the world.
Together we create a space where you can explore difficult experiences safely, develop a deeper understanding of yourself and begin to change patterns that may have been shaped many years ago.
I practice Mindfulness-Based Core Process Psychotherapy, an embodied relational approach informed by contemplative neuroscience, buddhist wisdom and the role of the nervous system in trauma and healing. Here, clients experience a real, authentic and ultimately transformative therapeutic relationship where therapist and client journey together.
Mindfulness-based:
In mindfulness-based psychotherapy, you will be supported in our sessions to bring present-moment awareness to your experience. This may be as simple as pausing as we talk about something to notice and name an emotion or physical sensation that is here in this moment for you and for us both. So while we will explore important past experiences and your fears and hopes for the future, we will also become curious about thoughts and feelings in the present moment.
By becoming more aware of our reactions to our experience - the ways we try to avoid what feels uncomfortable or unknown, and the patterns that take shape as a result - we gain greater choice in how we live and in the sort of relationships we have.
About Me
Emily Cole MSc, PGDip, MBPsS, UKCP Reg
I am a UKCP accredited psychotherapist, having studied with the Karuna Institute and qualified in Mindfulness-Based Core Process Psychotherapy. I am also registered with the Association of Core Process Psychotherapists. As a member of the UKCP and ACPP, I adhere to their code of ethics and receive clinical supervision.
I have a British Psychological Society recognised MSc in Psychology and experience in adult psychological services in the NHS as an assistant psychologist. In my therapeutic work I draw from a breadth of experience and take a holistic and individualised approach.
As a therapist, I value the simple act of sitting down with my clients each week, connecting with them however they are in the moment. Over time, I get to witness them develop a truer, kinder relationship with themselves. It's incredibly rewarding to journey with someone as this inner change is reflected out into their life and relationships.
I offer sessions in London in Kensal Rise (NW10), Palmers Green (N13) and online.
